Oshoala on target as Barcelona edge Atletico Madrid to Spanish Women's Super Cup final

Asisat Oshoala maintained her impressive form to power Barcelona to the final of the Spanish Women's Super Cup following a 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid at Estadio El Helmantico on Thursday.

First-half strikes from Patri Guijarro, Lieke Martens and Oshoala ensured the Calatan giants secured a comeback triumph over the Spanish champions in a tension-soaked encounter.

The four-time Spanish champions went into the tie needing a win to reach the final, however, they started on a back foot as Toni Duggan gave Atletico an early lead four minutes into the encounter.

Barcelona staged a fightback and broke the resolve of Atletico when Guijarro grabbed the equaliser in the 12th minute before Martens ensured the lead 16 minutes later in the goal-laden first half.
